Latino leaders aren't surprised. Russell Berman Aug 20, 2015 Reprinted from The Atlantic, http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/a-trump-inspired- hate-crime-in-boston/401906/, last visited April 4, 2016. The impact of Donald Trump's anti-immigrant broadsides appears to have veered dangerously far off the presidential campaign trail. Police in Boston say that one of two brothers who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited Trump's message on immigration as a motivation for their attack. "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported," Scott Leader, 38, told officers, according to a police report cited by The Boston Globe. Leader and his brother, Steve, were arrested and charged with multiple assault charges after police said they urinated on and then assaulted a 58-year-old homeless man they found sleeping outside a T-station as they walked home from a Red Sox game. They allegedly beat him with a metal pole, breaking his nose and causing other injuries. According to the Globe, Scott Leader told police it was OK to assault the man because he was Hispanic and homeless. Both men, who have extensive criminal records, pleaded not guilty and said the homeless man started the confrontation. Officials in Boston immediately denounced the attack. But Trump, who has made no apology for suggesting some Mexican immigrants were "rapists" and calling for their mass deportation, appeared to brush off the incident when he was asked about it while campaigning Wednesday in New Hampshire. "I think that would be a shame," he said, according to The Boston Herald, in reference to the report. He said he hadn't heard about the incident but then defended his most ardent supporters as "passionate." I will say, the people that are following me are very passionate. They love this country. They want this country to be great again. But they are very passionate. I will say that. For Latino leaders who repeatedly denounced Trump's rhetoric against undocumented immigrants, the most disturbing part of the attack in Boston was how unsurprising it was. "It's a pattern that we have seen over the last decade in the nation with enforcement only policies and this anti-immigrant rhetoric," said Hector Sanchez, the chairman of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, in a phone interview, "I was not surprised." Sanchez said he has repeatedly warned that Trump's statements, which have been laughed off as clownish in some quarters, are taken far more seriously in the Latino community. "When Trump is having this kind of anti-Latino and anti-immigrant language, he's not only a clown talking in general, his language has a direct impact in the quality of life of Latinos," he said. Sanchez said he believed that a 50 percent rise in hate crimes against Hispanics over the last five years is "directly correlated" to anti-immigrant rhetoric from conservatives. Before Trump's emergence in the last few months, 1 inflammatory statements from Republican members of Congress like Steve King and Louie Gohmert made national headlines. Frank Sharry, the executive director of America's Voice, called Trump's response to the attack "morally bankrupt." This pattern of hateful rhetoric has officially passed the of[sic] point of extremist words and has turned into alarming action. This is more than just bad politics. When political debate encourages an atmosphere where hateful actions and hurtful rhetoric get mainstreamed, it's bad for the country. Yet with Trump's rivals in the Republican field responding to his rise by running to the right on immigration, there seems to be little that Latino leaders can do beside denounce the party and promise retribution at the polls next year. "Unfortunately, a lot of those extremist views are now reflective of the Republican Party," Sanchez said. Will the outrage of the hate-fueled attack in Boston prompt the GOP to take on Trump more directly? Perhaps. But if Trump's establishment-be-damned campaign strategy is a guide, it might not do much good. 2 BUSH-ALIGNED LAWYER: DONALD TRUMP'S CAMP IS BREAKING FEDERAL LAW Fredreka Schouten, January 13, 2016 6:07 p.m. EST Reprinted from USA Today, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/01/13/ bush-aligned-lawyer-donald-trumps-camp-breaking-federal-election-law/78756404/, last visited April 7, 2016 The legal mind behind Jeb Bush's super PAC fired another shot against Donald Trump on Wednesday, lodging a second complaint with federal regulators that the billionaire has improperly used corporate resources to advance his presidential ambitions. Under federal law, corporations cannot contribute money or in-kind services directly to federal candidates. Charles Spies, who represents the pro-Bush Right to Rise super PAC, points out that one of Trump's corporate lawyers, Michael Cohen, recently told CNN that

  • FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’S Campaign Against the Media on @Realdonaldtrump and Reactions to It on Twitter
    “FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’s Campaign Against the Media on @realdonaldtrump and Reactions To It on Twitter A PEORIA Project White Paper Michael Cornfield GWU Graduate School of Political Management [email protected] April 10, 2019 This report was made possible by a generous grant from William Madway. SUMMARY: This white paper examines President Trump’s campaign to fan distrust of the news media (Fox News excepted) through his tweeting of the phrase “Fake News (Media).” The report identifies and illustrates eight delegitimation techniques found in the twenty-five most retweeted Trump tweets containing that phrase between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018. The report also looks at direct responses and public reactions to those tweets, as found respectively on the comment thread at @realdonaldtrump and in random samples (N = 2500) of US computer-based tweets containing the term on the days in that time period of his most retweeted “Fake News” tweets. Along with the high percentage of retweets built into this search, the sample exhibits techniques and patterns of response which are identified and illustrated. The main findings: ● The term “fake news” emerged in public usage in October 2016 to describe hoaxes, rumors, and false alarms, primarily in connection with the Trump-Clinton presidential contest and its electoral result. ● President-elect Trump adopted the term, intensified it into “Fake News,” and directed it at “Fake News Media” starting in December 2016-January 2017. 1 ● Subsequently, the term has been used on Twitter largely in relation to Trump tweets that deploy it. In other words, “Fake News” rarely appears on Twitter referring to something other than what Trump is tweeting about.

  • Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-67, January 2012 Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates by Mark McKinnon Shorenstein Center Reidy Fellow, Fall 2011 Political Communications Strategist Vice Chairman Hill+Knowlton Strategies Research Assistant: Sacha Feinman © 2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.

  • Engagement with False Content Producers Plummeted on Twitter and Facebook
    Engagement with False Content Producers Plummeted on Twitter and Facebook Adrienne Goldstein Manipulative News Sites Accounted for a Record Share of Facebook Interactions Sites that gather and present information irresponsibly (according to the news-rating service NewsGuard) accounted for a record-high one-fifth of Facebook interactions with U.S.-based sitesi in the second quarter of 2021, while engagement with articles from outlets that repeatedly publish false content plummeted on Twitter and Facebook. This occurred amidst an overall decline in engagement with all types of sites. After all-time highs in engagement with both types of deceptive news outlets in 2020, sites that publish false content have seen their engagement drop at much higher rates than U.S.- based sites in general, likely as a result of account takedowns and changes in policies around COVID-19 misinformation and content moderation. The changes demonstrate that Facebook and Twitter have the tools to address disinformation. However, outlets that gather and present information irresponsibly without publishing false content present a special challenge to the platforms. These sites can help spread conspiracies theories about elections and vaccines, highlighting the need for what GMF Digital calls “democratic design” principles to promote transparency and civic information. • Amidst an overall decline in Facebook interactions with U.S.-based sites that began in the latter half of 2020, interactions with outlets that collect and present information irresponsibly dropped in the second quarter of 2021. They fell by slightly less than the drop in overall traffic (35 percent vs 38 percent) and by far less than a sample of 106 trustworthy sites with perfect NewsGuard ratings (56 percent) or sites that repeatedly publish false content (54 percent).
